Mechanical Engineer - Workplace

Overview

Mechanical Engineer - Workplace role in the Mechanical Engineering team focused on independent design ownership, documentation, and cross-discipline coordination. The Mechanical Engineer serves as a technical contributor and emerging mentor, performing calculations, code research, QAQC, and supports project delivery from concept through construction. The role includes deeper technical knowledge development, client interaction growth, and the development of critical thinking for future engineering leadership.

• Lead design development and calculations for assigned mechanical systems across schematic, design development, and construction document phases.
• Independently perform mechanical design tasks—such as load calculations, equipment sizing, controls sequences and diagrams, and code compliance checks—with minimal input.
• Prepare technical documentation for mechanical systems, including system descriptions and narratives, Division 21, 22 & 23 specifications, equipment schedules, and redline markups.
• Develop and review mechanical system layouts in Revit—including HVAC, plumbing and/or fire protection—in coordination with architectural and structural backgrounds.
• Coordinate mechanical design with internal disciplines and external consultants to resolve design conflicts and progress design.
• Review and respond to mechanical RFIs and submittals with support from engineers.
• Perform field verification for mechanical conditions, assist with punch walks, and participate in mechanical construction observation visits.
• Participate in early-phase design strategy discussions and support mechanical discipline leads with technical insight.
• Engage in internal QAQC processes and perform peer reviews of mechanical drawings and documentation for code compliance and drafting consistency.
• Begin mentoring mechanical designers and interns in software use, modeling best practices, documentation standards, and calculation basics.
• Participate in internal and external project meetings, and support the preparation of agendas, meeting minutes, and follow-up documentation with a focus on mechanical scope.
• Track and manage hours on assigned work and assist in project planning discussions regarding scope and resource allocation.

• Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, or equivalent, required.
• P.E. licensure required.
• 5+ years in the AEC Industry preferred.
• Understanding of the financial status of projects as they progress, development of cost budgets, client relationship value, and delivering projects with a focus on quality is preferred.
• Written and verbal communication skills commensurate with the position.
• Strong organizational skills.
• Revit experience required.
• Experience with computers for word processing, spreadsheet use/creation, and email.
• Detail-oriented, self-motivated, enthusiastic, flexible and curious personalities.
